All you need to know about bindings
Bindings aka interactions is a popular topic, probably because they are so powerful. However, people also find it a bit difficult to approach. I’ve in several blogs and webinars covered this topic in great detail and thought it would be good to have a one-stop for getting to understand bindings.
Note: Find the official binding documentation on the Salesforce Help Pages.

I have worked with CRM Analytics since 2015 (back then Wave). I started this blog to help make the journey to master CRM Analytics easy by documenting tips, tricks & cool solutions.
I have a result binding where we have like a,b,c,d dimensions and 1,2,3,4 as measures. Now we have appplied binding to get either 1 and 2 (or) 3 and 4 (or) 1,2,3,4 all together
The issue is while calculating totals in SAQL., when the result binding returns 1 and 2 , i want to see column 1+ column 2 as totals
How can i achieve this?
Hello! I’m trying to create a Range for my opportunities and use them on a dashboard.
I have my query, Amounts Bucket Toggle looks like this:
Text 123 Number 123 Number
Display Rev_From Rev_To
$1-$9,999 1 9999
$10,000 – $24,999 10000 24999
$25,000 – $49,999 25000 49999
Etc. all the way to $20,000,000 +
I’m having a hard with my bindings. Under filters, this appears to work: [
“Amount”,
“{{row(Amount_Bucket_Toggle_1.selection, [0], [\”Rev_From\”, \”Rev_To\”]).asObject()}}”,
“>=<="
]
]
However, I cannot make the chart to respond when selecting more than box in the toggle, I want it to reflect, for example if I select 1, 2 and 3 to bring everything from $1 to $49,999. Right now it seems to respond only if deselect the first two.
The Toggle query is set to Multiple Selection (required)
Any help will be appreciated.
